The idea is to create an api on top of cortx to handle images optimization, basically an alternative to platforms like cloudinary, and provide open source solution for the community to use.

CORTX is a distributed object storage system designed for great efficiency, massive capacity, and high HDD-utilization. CORTX is 100% Open Source
Because CORTX is S3 compatible we can use the storage system and the Images API feature to serve images in different sizes.
Step 0: set environment variable, you can set it on the os level or create an .env file and set the variable in it, the variable needed is:
aws_access_key_id,
aws_secret_access_key,
bucket_name,
endpoint_url,
api_key
Step 1: assuming you have python 3;installed, run:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Step 2: Run the API server;
python3 api.py
Ensure you have docker installed in your system.
Step 1: Build the image
docker build --tag=cortx-images .
Step 2: Run the app; the .env file contains the app environment variables stated in step 0
docker run --env-file .env -it -p 5000:5000 cortx-images
GET /images/{filename} // return original image
GET /images/120x120/{filename} // return resized image, with=120, height=120
- resized images will be stored for future use.
